Line 44:
* [[Logic Bomb]]: Provides the [http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/L/logic-bomb.html correct definition] of the concept, unlike us.
* [[Metasyntactic Variable]]: There is an [http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/M/metasyntactic-variable.html extensive entry] on the subject that documents not just terms used by American and British programmers but those used by programmers from continental Europe and New Zealand.
* [[Muggles]]: Provides a [http://catb.org/jargon/html/M/muggle.html definition] for the hackish use, which was inspired by the [[Harry Potter|Trope Namer]] -- someone who doesn't know about or how to use the magic of computers.
* [[Names Given to Computers]]: The real-life [[Cthulhu Mythos|Shub-Internet]] was named after a joke in the Jargon File and operated as a server in the Pentagon for a number of years. Obviously a very silly type-6, relating to the Internet's origins as a US Defense Department project.
* [[Neologism]]: The source or earliest documentation of many terms that later entered widespread use.
